After adding $27 Million domestically, it has now amassed $43.1 Million internationally, marking a strong debut in all areas outside of North America.

As indicated by the $12 million earned on Thursday in North America, prior to its wide release, there was great anticipation for the new movie among audiences. The domestic box office revenue for it's traditional weekend opening (Friday through Sunday) is expected to total $85-$94 million; this means this is likely to be one of the best opening weekends for a movie from a major studio, in this case from Disney, in 2025. This puts Avatar: Fire And Ash into direct competition with some of the highest-grossing films of the year, such as Wicked For Good and Zootopia 2.
According to BoxOfficePro, during its five-day opening weekend, Avatar: Fire and Ash is expected to earn $250 million - $260 million worldwide. In addition to being among the most highly anticipated films of 2022, Avatar: Fire and Ash will have one of the best debuts ever. The high level of anticipation for Avatar 2 is due to its groundbreaking visuals, its association with the Avatar franchise, and its innovative storylines and characters.

Is Avatar: Fire and Ash Breaking Box Office Records?
Despite the success of Avatar: Fire and Ash at the cinema, it has not yet come close to breaking the record set by its predecessor Avatar: The Way of Water. In its opening day of release in India, Avatar: The Way of Water earned ₹24.94 Crores, which remains the highest opening day gross for any film in the Avatar franchise to date. In its first two days of release in India, Avatar: Fire and Ash has matched the single-day opening day gross of its predecessor, indicating that it is drawing large numbers of people to theaters, but not exceeding the phenomenal success of the prior film's debut.
Globally, Avatar: Fire and Ash is expected to cross $110 million in its first weekend, a strong showing that reflects the film’s worldwide popularity and the enduring appeal of the Avatar universe. While this is not a franchise record, it’s still a remarkable achievement and indicates that the film is resonating with audiences across different markets. The movie’s performance is also being closely watched as it could influence the box office fortunes of future installments in the Avatar series.
